3 day sightseeing tour: Yalta, Sevastopol, Bakhchisarai, Sudak, Balaklava, Inkerman with a private guide

This sightseeing tour is definitely my most popular program. It includes all sights of Crimea in 3 busy days :). Everything I have mentioned in my list of one-day sightseeing excursions we see during this 3-day tour. Please check also my 2-day sightseeing tours (if you don't have 3 days) which includes 2 days on choice from this program.

By default this tour is planed from Simferopol to Simferopol. It means, that I pick you up from Simferopol airport or train station and in the end I give you a ride back to your plane or train in Simferopol.

For this tour I can take from 1 to 8 persons.

Hi Sergey,
Just wanted to say thank-you for being such a knowledgeable and friendly guide, and for a fantastic 3-day tour.
I know that it would have been impossible for us to see or do so much without you.
It's hard to say which day we enjoyed most because they were all so interesting and different. We enjoyed the military history of Balaklava and Sevastopol, but also the Royal Palaces of Yalta, and the views at Sudak.
I think a highlight for us was the off the beaten track accommodation and home cooked evening meal.
All in all, we had a fantastic holiday, and hope one day to be able to return to explore more of your lovely country.
